Custom Dark Mode is a powerful Chrome extension that allows users to personalize the dark theme for any website. Through a simple toolbar popup interface, you can adjust a variety of color settings including background color, font color, and header color, as well as control the opacity of all HTML elements on the page.

The extension auto-saves your preferences, enabling seamless and persistent customization. Additionally, it offers a whitelist feature to exclude specific domains from dark mode, controllable directly via the popup UI. Users can easily toggle the add-on on or off with a central torch button. For bug reports or feature requests, the extension provides a dedicated form on its homepage.

User reviews

Users appreciate that Custom Dark Mode works effectively on many websites including YouTube without visual glitches and offers useful customization for advanced users. However, many reviews highlight difficulties for casual users due to lack of easy toggles, unclear UI/instructions, missing whitelist or per-site control, and no ready-made presets. While powerful, the extension is complicated and inconvenient for some, suggesting room for improving usability and user control options.

Pros

Works well across many websites, including YouTube, without breaking video visibility.
Provides a customizable dark mode experience with CSS knowledge.
Extremely useful and effective as a dark mode add-on.
Simple and straightforward to use for those familiar with customization.

Cons

Complicated to use and customize for casual users; lacks ready-made dark mode presets.
No easy on/off toggle or per-site enable/disable option; users have to manually turn dark mode on or off.
Whitelist feature is missing or broken, forcing users to apply full dark mode globally.
UI and instructions are confusing and not user-friendly, leading to frustration.

~ The good: Seems to work on ALL sites, & doesn't break youtube videos (fully visible when in 'dark' mode even when paused). ~ The bad: Missing underlines under links, & have to click the addon button, then look around & scroll down to the'enable' link = lame. It should turn on by clicking the button on the 'toolbar' like most other 'apps' (saves time & frustration =) ~ The 'Please Add': Include color picker with very BIG gradient chooser thing, & verify that the 'extreme ranges (near edges) work in the native 'flags-based' dark mode of chrome, rather than flipping the colors, etc. Also add 'white list' feature so it can 'ignore' those very few sites we may find that don't need to be 'corrected' =)
